1963 Ford Falcon Ranchero Deluxe Original Factory 260 V8 3 Speed on 2040-cars
Redding, California, United States
|
Up for your consideration is a RARE 1963 Ford Falcon Ranchero Deluxe, after doing some research there is thought to be only about 200 of these left! How many with the original running gear is any ones guess! The Truck is pretty much original, a few changes have been made. It was born Corinthian White (exterior), Red Crush Vinyl and White Crush Vinyl (interior) with a bench seat.***note***the color on the inside of glove box door is original. The exterior paint was two toned some time in its life, bucket seats were added (should have a bench seat), mirrors, hubcaps, radio/speakers changed. If one wanted it would not take too much to bring back to stock. If you look up the VIN DECODER it will tell you what it was born with. I will list the codes for the running gear. Engine: C30E-6015B 4.3 L Windsor 260 V8 Transmission: C3AB-7006 Bell Housing: C3AA6394C Rear End: C70W-A 3:25:1 What I know, the Motor was rebuilt some time in its life, mileage unknown, but runs good. Floor pans have been replaced. There was rust around the rear quarters and I had them professionally repaired with metal, (welded) not bondo. Paint was some what touched up, but needs to be professionally done. There are a few dents, scrapes, dings etc. Fine as a driver, but I think this survivor deserves a full restoration. Grill, bumpers, light housings are not the greatest. Don't get me wrong this Truck is pretty strait! New parts: Tires, clutch, battery, carb, fuel pump, distributor, wires, export brace, idler arm the truck was aligned and brakes were good. Yes it runs, drives and stops, current CLEAN title, lights and blinkers work. Known things that it needs: heater hooked, windshield wiper motor hooked up, horn doesn't work! Shifter has worn (original) but operates, speedo is not accurate (jumps around), carpet and seats reupholstered and probably a few other things that I don't know about! All in all this is a nice driver or an excellent candidate for a full restoration! The Truck will be available for viewing @ Kool April Nights car show, Redding, Ca. From today till Sunday the 27. It is also for sale locally. Being sold as is where is if you have any questions you may call me direct, Mark @ (530) 356-0762 If you have any shipping questions you may call: Miller Auto Transport Broker, Bill Miller @ (530) 945-6973 He is here in Redding and I have used him a few times before. |

2015 Ford Focus sedan shows its fresh face in New York
Wed, 16 Apr 2014That handsome fellow you see above is the 2015 Ford Focus sedan. We liked the looks of the 2014 Focus, and the updates for 2015 only improve things to our eyes, with the adoption of the Aston Martin-inspired grille that has been permeating Ford's lineup these last few years. Sweeping, slightly bulbous headlamps join a revised, more demure lower grille opening to round out the styling updates up front. The rest of the car's look is just slightly massaged, including new taillamp clusters that look much like they did last year.
New for 2015 is the availability of Ford's 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. There's also a new SE Sport Package that adds more aggressive suspension tuning, paddle shifters (when equipped with Ford's six-speed dual-clutch automatic) and a few body kit bits and pieces. Rounding out the mechanical changes are an updated electronic steering rack that promises better feel, suspension tweaks to make the ride more comfortable and some software updates designed to make the dual-clutch gearbox better behave itself.
In addition, inside there are a few interior upgrades, as well as some added comfort and safety tech that includes available blind-spot detection and lane-keeping assist, along with other more incremental changes that all add up to a better vehicle. We suggest you check out the official press release below for all the details, but not before scrolling through our image gallery of live shots above.
Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
Car-crazy 5-year-old boy writes automakers for treasures, gets big response
Fri, Jan 25 2019Part of the beauty of children is that they can find worth in something adults might deem unworthy or overlook entirely. Five-year-old Patch Hurty didn't see garbage or a broken piece of a car when he spotted a Ford badge lying on the side of a road. He saw an artifact, a souvenir, a start to a collection he could only dream of. Ezra Dyer of Popular Mechanics tells the story of Patch and his quest to turn that one lost badge into a museum of manufacturer logos. According to the article, Hurty is a car fanatic through and through, even using car names as a way of learning to read. After finding the Ford badge near his Connecticut home, he and his mom put together a plan to reach out to dozens of automakers, confessing his love of things on four wheels. In each letter, Patch assembled a picture of himself standing next to one of the cars, and a penny to pay for whatever he hoped was sent his way. The response was unexpectedly and overwhelmingly positive. Of the more than 50 letters he sent out, including to obscure or defunct companies such as Bugatti, Suzuki, and Saturn, a majority responded with warm notes and some type of souvenir. Two of the coolest responses came from Lincoln and Bentley. Lincoln sent a sketch of a Continental (all car lovers enjoy drawing cars, right?), and Bentley sent a wheel center cap. How awesome is that? The story reminds us of something that can easily be lost in all of the negativity involved with the auto industry: Everybody is in this because of a common infatuation with automobiles. For more details on the souvenirs Patch received and accompanying photos, read the rest of the story. Related Video: News Source: Popular Mechanics Read This Bentley Bugatti Ford Lincoln Saturn Suzuki
